Literate, tuneful and punchy ... like Squeeze jamming with Jellyfish in Elvis Costello's front room.
Bio / Background
Focused on the songwriting of Raymond Weir, Scottish band The Eisenhowers have produced a debut album which sits nicely in the adult pop genre. Clearly inspired by the likes of Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann, XTC and Crowded House, ‘Almost half-undressed’ features 12 literate, punchy and often thoughtful songs covering a wide range of topics, including sex, celebrity, love, money, serial killers and even parenthood.
The tunes are mostly direct and guitar-driven, while Weir’s vocals are pitched somewhere between the gutteral Costello (circa ‘Armed Forces’) and the genial Glenn Tilbrook. The arrangements are tight and imaginative, while the production is always punchy and clean. There is a nice balance of light and shade, with plenty of neat harmonies and more catchy choruses than you could shake a stick at.
Like the acts that influence them, The Eisenhowers are lyrically cute and this album exhibits a healthy dose of cynical humour.
